Major Younger Dryas Impact Evidence Discovered in Louisiana:

The end of the Ice Age started in Louisiana? Somehow it all makes sense now.

That's depressing.

This is pretty exciting. For the geographically challenged, Perkins is in the greater DeQuincy Metropolitan area.

The area still hasn't recovered from this.

From what I understand, the theory is that a comet crashed into the Canadian ice sheet, but the force of the impact was so great that it threw huge chunks of rock and ice up into the atmosphere. Those chunks then came down as like mini asteroids and created smaller impact craters all over North America, sparking a firestorm that burned up nearly all of the continent’s vegetation and sent the megafauna into extinction. Those thousands of tiny impact craters created a geological feature now referred to as Carolina Bays.

I believe that the Younger-Dryas impact theory helps explain why North American civilizations were so far behind the rest of the world technologically at the time of Columbus. While Eurasia had discovered iron 2000 years prior, not one North American civilization had discovered bronze (the Inca in South America had mastered the technology only recently). Calcolithic North American civilizations were literally 6000+ years behind Eurasia.

While the rest of the world dealt with droughts, floods, and a nuclear winter; they didn’t have everything get burnt to cinders in a continental bbq. Thus, greater percentages of their pre-deluvian populations survived while North America had to be repopulated from scratch. Almost zero traces of civilization could have survived that. Meanwhile, the rest of the world lost their coastal cities, but their populations in the hinterlands survived and adapted. It is no surprise that we see the first known cities being built along river valleys just inland from newly created seas that likely were fertile river valleys before the ice melted and flooded them. Civilization did not start in Sumer, but merely evacuated there. There was no such opportunity in America.

I believe LIDAR is going to all but confirm advanced Ice Age civilization in the next 20 years. Huge swaths of the Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea, Red Sea, Baltic Sea, Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, Persian Gulf, Sea of Japan, South China Sea, etc were dry land with fertile river valleys and temperate climates. I look forward to LIDAR revealing sunken cities in the sediments beneath the seas.

yeah this is one of the most interesting threads ive seen on here in a long time.

I heard someone on a history podcast talking recently about the chances that civilization predates what we know now, it's just buried somewhere under the mediterranean or in doggerland or something. Very interesting to think about, it would completely change what we know about civilization

Interesting that the timing corresponds exactly with the time the Egyptians said that Atlantis was destroyed.

Fall of Civilizations talks about this, too. I know the idea of a flood in the distant past is a common thing, but I was just listening to the episode about Sumer and he talks about Sumerians telling tales of escaping from a flood to end up in Mesopotamia. At least I think thats all correct, I usually put it on at night to sleep.

Excellent podcast though if you havent listened

They weren’t behind, they were very advanced at peace and love which the white man hadn’t even invented

Drya or Dryer?
